As requested by @emmny (apologies for being EXTREMELY late!!! ><) Lyrics: Kazuma Music: Hideno Kanji: lyric site Romaji & translation: me Kanji: 赤い絲 Romaji: Akai Ito English: Red Thread Thanks for looking, enjoy! ^^

almost reminds me of one of those deep fried memes

inspiration? 🤔

SUSTAIN THAT!

unless it's some cover surfacing effects not translating onto a 2D image it's absolute pretentious ugly-ass trash x

Hello to this heaven, I came back from hell, probably the second time 😉 yeah.. I took myself away from all online social media platforms three years ago I would say. but yes! Girugamesh is what brought me back, listening to their old school tunes got me thinking of Jrock again! I think I said this in my previous, "I'm Back!" post. I really don't keep up with any news of Jrock of today. I guess for Dir en Grey I do know, but that was pretty much unavoidable for me. Still listen to their music time to time. but yes for the most part, clueless. What I still listen to are, Dir en Grey, Malice Mizer, Moi Dix Mois, emmuree, The God and Death Stars and Girugamesh. I REALLY love weird fuckin music, so I'll be looking for that. Recommend, mention, comment and hopefully it'll be in my path to see. I listen to all worlds of music. Does anyone remember me? No? its okay. You're probably not here either. again! Hello to everyone!

To be fair, you have to have a very high I.Q. to understand DIR EN GREY album art.

It literally looks like something that was slapped together by some intern who learned how to work Photoshop like five minutes ago, idk why y'all are reading so deeply into this as if it has some profound and deep meaning

all this for some shitty japanese nu-metal

I can definitely also see the paralels to sukekiyo, in both bands! As for Black Metal or DSBM and VK together, it's actually very surprising that there aren't more bands doing it. With all the occultism, depression, suicide and general nihilism in the themes many bands are using and the fact that basically any metal genre can be considered 'VK music' now as long as the band has the look and plays at certain events its not that unlikely. Recently I saw a japanese article about Madmans Esprit and that genre combination that is very in-depth and it way interesting to read. Although I was surprised of them calling early mucc DSBM. Actually he is the guitarist of ms. isohp romatem while their vocalist is support guitarist for his live shows. Your point still stands, though. The metal scene in South Korea is already shockingly small and a visual kei scene pretty much does not exist anymore except for 3-4 bands. BP records bands keep playing shows there, though. So there has to be at least something... btw, new look of ms. isohp romatem

That album cover is almost worse than Sustain the Untruth’s cover.

Let’s be honest, people here would find a way to hate it no matter what it looked like.

KILHI+ICE - New Material (Demo-Tape) 2nd effect - Love+Injection type B (Demo-Tape)

Somehow there is no Madmans Esprit thread on MH and seeing they even joined Gan-Shin Records recently I felt like there should be one. The band was formed 2010 in Seoul and has been active with changing lineup as solo project of vocalist/guitarist 叫號 (Kyuho). Their style is characterized as "post black metal / visual kei" under the concept "depressive suicidal blackened pop" and their new album is going to be released in October 2018.

emmuree and tgads! great taste, welcome \m/

every bit as fantastic of a song (and translation!) as I was hoping it'd be. THANKS SO MUCH! i love the imagery especially

Thanks! Its alright, you've probably talked more than me than my whole time being in this website and even before it was monochrome-heaven. I was shy really.

whaaaaaaaaaaaa-

Ninth was pretty cool IMO though

Maybe the thought process was “WELL GAZETTE HAD THAT SHINY RED COVER LETS DO A CRAZY THING!”

cosplay http://kyotakumrau.tumblr.com/post/177304722837/ranunculus-video-wow-a-freak-show-circus-a RANUNCULUS video. Wow. A freak show, circus, a spooky spectacle, dark fairytale.

That’s what I’m saying. Something this goddamn ugly needs to do some crazy Tool shit like a lenticular cover or have stereoscopic 3D glasses built into the packaging. Years of dark, muted colors to this. It almost looks like a CGI render of the Glass Skin cover.

The two CDs arrived pretty fast and all packaged with care. Thank you for all!

Found what it reminded me of: +

So this guy is pretty much the vocalist for half the Korean visual kei scene. Makes you realise how small it is

yeah,that's it.and for sure, if they were japanese they would be one of the most commented bands here their sound really impresses me,plus the "korean essence" in it ,which something that i'm not used to as i said btw,the diversity,the passion,the elegant and at the same time sinister atmosphere on some tracks gives me strong Sukekiyo's vibes and it's one of the favorite bands of the vocalist,so he's definitely influenced i'm excited for this release,and glad that i've found someone to discuss about these guys their other project is pretty interesting as well

I agree 100%! Pretty sure if it was Japanese, people on the forum would already be hyping it. But the Korean language matches this style of music very well.

this is one of the best things i've heard this year,they deserve total attention of this forum visual kei and black metal,my two fav subgenres together,what could be better? and glad that they kept the korean language in most of the tracks, i'm definetely not used to listen any metal songs in korean,sounds really refreshing

I thought you were trolling until I checked the OHP out loool.

According to Visunite official twitter "Last Cross" are signed with them now.

(ex- THE KIDDIE Vo. Yusa) should be in the title. This is awesome news xD I love how this sounds im excited for Yusa's return also ex-12012 and TRA TRA nice lineup @Yukimoto Check this out I almost mmissed this

Thanks you for this translation 😍. This song is sad ;-;.

I'm guessing they censored a bunch of stuff to try and make the band seem more risque than they really are. I mean, one of the words they censored was "AV" (meaning adult video). They also censored him jacking off the microphone. So my guess is they're just trying to make themselves way edgier.

Personally I don't own the lyrics. There is no booklet on this release. You need to find a japanese speaker for a transcription sorry

their 1st single will be released at 2018/11/10

I absolutely despise StU. It's the most overplayed, yet most boring song in their entire catalogue and for reasons beyond my understanding, they feel the need to include it on nearly every release. It's three times on ANDROGYNOS, once on ARCHE, three times on ARCHE AT NIPPON BUDOKAN, twice on DSS AT NIPPON BUDOKAN, once on the MTV live, once on the SUSTAIN THE UNTRUTH single, once on TOUR14, once on TOUR16-17 TMOAB, of course once on VESTIGE OF SCRATCHES and again on ARCHE as a remix. I have it 15 times in my discography and 200 scrobbles on last.fm .__. But apparently they've performed it only ~172 times, which is nothing compared to the ~535 times OBSCURE was performed.

Arche has some great songs but it’s not very fun to listen to all the way through. There are too many songs that are neither fast and heavy nor melodic and emotional so they just end up in a really boring middle ground. I love songs like Rinkaku, Behind a Vacant Image, Kaishun and Tousei, or on the opposite end of the spectrum, songs like Midwife, Revelation of Mankind, Uroko and The Inferno. But, like, does anyone really like Soshaku that much? Or Sustain the Untruth? Some of the songs just felt like filler.

Yay for Yusa and Hiroki! NORMCORE? was great until the chorus started...

The stuff they are starting out with isn't too bad at all. Will keep my eye on them and see what else they put out for sure.

i just want a return to kazoku style LOL

it's me again. picture taken before the GYZE concert earlier this week

My favorite album this year (though the 🍈 didn't approve *angery face*.) I've started listening to Denzel's TA13OO, and it's pretty gooood. --- As for "unique", my gateway to a lot of hip-hop has been jazz. Listening to more melodic tracks kinda ate away at the distance I had with traditional rap, and helped me embrace more "mainstream" artists.

The whole band's name is hinting at their preference for older gay men to take them: Dad aroma

yesn't

But I like the faux-avant-garde stuff.

I ctrl+F'd this page and it had no Juri (ex-DELUHI) SMH guys. One of the best, least nasal vk-core vocalists right there.
